Save up to $40 at Best Buy with Amex Offers!

American Express just announced another promotion where if you spend $250 at Best Buy you will receive a $25 statement credit – this is valid for online or in store purchases. They seem to run this offer every year during this exact same time which works perfect with upcoming Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and other general holiday deals! I’ve always been able to maximize by purchasing gift cards in store and ultimately saving a ton of money on electronic purchases! This promotion is valid for online or in-store purchases and expires December 31,2016. Read below how you can save another $15 (or even more)!

To enroll in this offer:

Sync your American Express credit card to Twitter (you can do that here). If you are not sure which card is currently synced with your account, you can unsync and then re-sync.

Tweet #AmexBestBuy

or, Sign into your AmericanExpress.com account and go to the “Amex Offers For You” tab. Find the Best Buy offer and make sure to select the “Save Offer” button (although once you do this for one card the option will disappear on other cards, so you’ll need to set up a Twitter account to save the offer to the rest of your Amex cards or read this post to learn how to sync multiple Amex cards with your AmericanExpress.com account)

How to fully maximize:

If you have no big ticket items to purchase at Best Buy, you can still fully take advantage of this offer and come out ahead! Some Best Buys even sell gift cards to other stores (Kindle, Visa, iTunes, etc.) although they aren’t as widely available as they used to be. Or you can purchase a Best Buy gift card to use at a future time.

Also… sign up for an Ibotta account and save even more money! Ibotta is an app where if you take a picture of your receipt at participating merchants, you can potentially get some money back. Currently, Ibotta is giving 2% cash back on all purchases at Best Buy up to $200! Unfortunately gift cards are excluded in the terms (as well as some other products and it is for in-store purchases only), but if you make a $250 purchase to trigger the Amex Offers statement credit, this will give you $5 back. Additionally, new members will also receive a $10 bonus after redeeming their first rebate. I actually use this app a ton, typically for grocery shopping, and it is extremely simple to use. Overall, it is a couponless way to get rebates on everyday purchases. Pay as you normally would then scan your receipt! You can also build teams to help unlock rebates quicker, so if anyone wants to be part of my team my referral code is sqnugco.

I’d wait to purchase though…

Some years during the holiday time Best Buy offers a great bonus offer for shopping at their store. For example, a few years ago I took advantage of a promotion where if you made a $100+ purchase, you’d get a free $15 Best Buy gift card. They also had a similar Best Buy Amex Offer going on at the same time. I was able to maximize both offers in one purchase, so if you are looking to purchase gift cards I’d wait to see if Best Buy comes around with another similar purchase.

My passion (and obsession!) for travel deals and points started over nine years ago the day I graduated college and took a job in management consulting. I’d spend every Monday through Thursday hotel hoping and embarking on long plane rides just to earn the extra points and miles. Since I was traveling all the time I decided that I was really going to take advantage of the points and miles game... Learn more about Jen »
